1 Minute at Chennai

17.07.2011, Evening, Chennai Express.

Onway to Chennai to attend a 2 day training at the Direct Taxes Regional Training Institute (DTRTI). The Caricature Yagna started on a quiet note with a Kerala High Court advocate and a retired Coimbatore based airforce pilot volunteering.

DTRTI, CHENNAI

The Dhoni lookalike, swashbuckling batsman in the Departmental cricket matches was the course co-ordinator. Had to be chased to cadge a sitting

The first session was handled by this veteran of the Judicial matters.

This handsome officer insisted that I meet Sreekanth (below), the Dy. Commissioner, more known for his cartooning skills.

and Sreekanth, too young for a DCIT says that his teeth forms the caricature USP.

This officer would chase me for a second try having 'misplaced' the first one.

Sampath Kumar, once Asst. Director (Investigation) at Palghat was only a telephonic voice until ...

This eco-friendly colleague even had a bundle of files to fall down with deadly report in sync with her walk to the well of the hall to receive participation certificate. She and the two below formed the female counterparts of this blogger in girth.

The officer with the maximum no. of contentions, especially on the first day

Shaji P. Jacob, a perpetual smiler by default and Addl. Director remains the perfectionist that I knew from the start of my Kochi days

6.30 pm. The Hindu. My long time friend Keshav, editorial cartoonist and a Kerala Cartoon Academy sympathiser was about to scan his drawing for next day's edition into the computer after last minute colouring. Next day at the guest house, I could not help smiling at an inside page of the Hindu

Keshav was really sorry that Surendra, his colleague could not be sounded while I was there. Before leaving, quickly doodled a caricature based on a blown up facebook shot.

Ended my Chennai life with a sumptuous meal at this prolific Tamil-Malayalam cartoonist, Peter of Dinamalar Daily.
